EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate engraving titled "Teeth of Buddha" by an anonymous English artist from the 20th century. Housed in a private collection, this remarkable artwork is a visual representation of one of the fascinating tales recounted in The Book of Ser Marco Polo, as translated and edited by Henry Yule. The image depicts a digitally cleaned version of the original engraving, highlighting every delicate detail with precision. It transports us back to ancient times when renowned explorer Marco Polo embarked on his extraordinary journeys through Asia. This particular illustration captures a momentous discovery made during Polo's travels - the sacred teeth of Buddha. Immersed in historical significance, these teeth symbolize not only religious devotion but also serve as tangible evidence of cultural exchange between East and West. The tooth relic was believed to have been discovered in Fu Chau and later transported to Kandy, Sri Lanka. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the rich tapestry that history weaves across continents. It invites us to delve into distant lands and explore their diverse traditions and beliefs. Through art like this enchanting engraving, we can embark on our own mental journey through time and space while appreciating the beauty found within different cultures around the world.
